Question

Study the following showing different organisms with their taxonomic categories:

• A. A-Animalia, B-Insecta, C-Polemoniales, D-Arachinida
• B. A-Chordata, B-Muscidae, C-Sapindales, D-Poales
• C. A-Chordata, B-Arachnida, C-Personales, D-Passiflorales
• D. A-Non-chordata, B-Insecta, C-Celestrales, D-Myrtales

Hint:

Understanding the hierarchical classification system is important: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Man is a vertebrate (Chordata), while Housefly belongs to Muscidae. Mango as a dicot is in Sapindales and wheat as a monocot is in Poales. This helps in quickly eliminating wrong options in exams.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Man is a vertebrate with phylum Chordata, family Hominidae, and order Primata. Housefly is an insect belonging to family Muscidae and order Diptera. Mango, a dicot plant, belongs to the order Sapindales. Wheat, a monocot, belongs to the order Poales. The correct mapping of A, B, C, and D is therefore Chordata, Muscidae, Sapindales, and Poales, respectively.
